A typical Monday

Today, like most Mondays had a bit of Murphy's law playing along. I along with Don and Steve went to the supply house on the north side of Port au Prince. The 18 mile trip took us 2 1/2 hours each way thanks to traffic accidents and detours. Back at Radio Lumiere the rest of the team stayed busy. While a couple of the guys worked on the generator and made the power transfer "officially" automatic, the others worked on pulling new circuits. The major objective of the day and moving forward this week is cleaning up wiring. Over the 50 year history of the radio station the service in the building has been added to and spliced in a thousand different directions. We will be tearing out most of the old, degraded wires and connections and replacing them with safe new ones. There is a newer addition on the building that will be used for TV production, however there isn't a single wire or plug in the whole studio. By the end of this week that new studio will be ready to go!
